Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop - November 26

Hello and welcome back to my blog lovely friends. It's time for the Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop, which takes place on the 5th of each month. You always have the option to go for anything goes but the extra prompt this month is 'celebrate'. I think this month's theme covers just about any occasion; birthday, Christmas, New Year, so just go for it.  I can't wait to see what the rest of my fellow hoppers have made and I hope you can pop over to Instagram and join us.
It's my youngest son's 30th birthday at the end of the month so this month's tag is for him.  I stencilled the background and die cut the numbers and sentiment from gold mirror card.  I think it turned out great and I hope you like it too.
Here is my tag:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the back of my tag:
I die cut my tag from white card and used a balloon stencil and some cool colours of ink pads to create my background (my son likes blue so that's why I went with cooler colours).  I die cut the 30 and my sentiment from gold mirror card and the shadow for the sentiment from vellum.  I also die cut 3 more extras from white card so that I could stack them up.  I adhered everything together with liquid glue and added them onto the tags, again using liquid glue.  I cut the hole reinforcer from gold mirror card and added it with liquid glue.  I decided to add a couple of stars as embellishments, which I cut from the gold mirror card and added with liquid glue.  For the back of the tag I die cut another white tag and added some stencilling at the very bottom to match the front.  I added a hole reinforcer and also 3 more stars, all cut from the gold mirror card using liquid glue.  I adhered both tags together with liquid glue.  I threaded some white ribbon through the hole and tied a bow around it using blue and white twine.  

I would like to enter my tag into the following challenges:
